THIRD ESTATE was entitled to need the outing at Ludlow on his return and he shaped nicely, despite an awkward head carriage. He's undergone a wind op since and the booking of Richard Johnson looks a positive now. Fontwell winner Mellow Ben is in good form and should make a bid while David's Phoebe and Wind Place And Sho are worth closer inspection.
